I'm sitting here in the hotel room just pondering what went wrong today. As others have said, it appears that most of the pieces are here yet we seem to be missing something. We seem so close but yet so far. What is the intangible that's absent from the Bills psyche that will allow us to finally get over the top? That "something" is the difference between 8-8 and the playoffs. I simply don't know what it is. Intensity, playmakers, leaders or maybe all three? It's horrifically painful waiting through the offseason, watching every move we make only to be stuck in the same place. I said to AiO halfway through the game that I had to force the emotion for this game and that mistique that I once knew as a Bills fan is all but lost.
All I know is that I have this empty semi-naseaus feeling knowing that we should have won this game and didn't. I'm not sure I can take another season of his kind of emptiness.
You're right Mark, it definitely was worse being there. If it wasn't for the TBD'ers, opening day would have been a horrific experience
